"Heading is descriptive" (b49b2e) What do heading need to describe? https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/1361 -

<Carlos> scribe: ajanec01

Jean-Yves, the only place where it is used is heading is descriptive,,,

Jean-Yves, elemenet with role of heading which is visible or included in the accessibility tree, which section it needs to describe

Jean-Yves, Do we need to split the rule?

Carlos, has been looking at the section of content definition in terms of other rule. The definition seems to be fine. Is it really ambigious?

<Jean-Yves> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/1085#discussion_r364145387

Wilco, what does a distinct part mean?

Carlos, it tells where it starts and where it ends

Adil, I agree

Wilco, that is an assumption

Wilco, there are multiple ways to explain it- hence it is ambigious

<EmmaJ_PR> +present

Adil, are visual headings coded correctly

Carlos, that is not what the rule is chesking

Carlos, we should rely on what can be determined programmatically

Carlos, WE SHOULD RELY ON WHAT IS NOT ONLY PROGRAMMATICALLY DETERMINED

Jean-Yves, splitting the rule might help

JEan-Yves, programmatically determined headings should rely on programmatic section of content

Emma, agree with Jean-Yves

Carlos, we all agree with it, but where does the section stop?

Wilco, if we do it only based on the heading structure we can include more in the definition

Emma, how much beyond the heading might be described

Emma, difficult thing to describe in the "programmatic" term

Jean-Yves, if we go with the definition of what the user perceives as a section of content doesn't solve anything

Wilco, list out the characteristics that commonly occur as a new section

Jean-Yves, css properties that describe a new section may not make sense to soemone who does not see the layout

Carlos, that's where splitting the rule may be beneficial

Emma, WCAG cares about the visual perception so that should be conveyed as well

Jean Yves, it makes sense to come up with the definition of headings

Jean Yves, The reason why we want ambigous description of section of content is because we want two testers give the same answer

Emma, programmatic section does not necessarily describe where the next heading is but where a section finishes

Wilco, I don't think that those things are required by WCAG

Emma, they are not required but they would indicate a section

Emma, if we say that the programmatic section catches something that is not part of a section then it highlights an issue

Emma, if there is an image before a heading that it is part of that section is that a problem?

Adil, we have headings without closing tags, how we can determine if they are programmatically determined?

Adil, check if it is coded correctly, and then determine the sections

Emma, that is what Jean-Yves suggested

Jean-

Jean-Yves, possibly we should look into the accessibility tree

Jean-Yves, it is amibious as it differes accross browser but the rule would be consistent

Wilco, heading should describe what is right beneath it, we don't necesarilly need to define a section. Maybe we should describe the begining of a section until the topic change

Carlos, that might also be ambigious

Emma, maybe we should use the programmtic section of content for level AAA

Emma, that would be a well defined rule that would be consistent. Then we can build on that

Emma, that would be an atomic rule that could later be part of a composite rule

Carlos, going back to Wilco suggestion- that could work. It is not that different what Jean Yves and I are discussing in Bypass blocks. Section of content in there is the repetitive block

Carlos, the immediate content under the heading must be described by the heading

Jean-Yves, could make sense

Carlos, immediate can not be ambigious

Adil, if the role of a heading is to break up large parts of content

Emma, could we have something that indicates the end of a section

Jean-Yves, the first palpable content could work

Wilco, I think that we've had a break through. Jean-Yves can you take it from there

Final call https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/461 -

Emma, I can see two things in the final call

Wilco, I do not

Rules ready for W3C publication https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/1120 -

Wilco, changes requested on two rules

Wilco, #1381- I'm looking for reviewers

Adil, I will take it

Wilco, next one from Jay- that has change requests

Wilco, moving onto awaiting W3C resolution

Wilco, some of those things will come out soon

Wilco, object element has non-empty acc name

Carlos, a small editorial change

Wilco, does need final call

Wilco, the iframe one is not ready and won't be done by the 27th

Carlos, I will pick up focusable elements with aria-hidden

Wilco, I will put 10th August on the autocomplete

Wilco, we can put something about form element with autocomplete="off" would pass in the background section

Wilco, I've created an issue about it

Wilco, ok, let's wrap

Final thoughts

Carlos, very happy on the break through on headings

Emma, agreed with Carlos

Jean Yves, always enjoy the discussions in this group

Adil, good discussion and good work
